I originally studied to be a chef, but the camera carried me away. Based in Joensuu, I have built my career in specialized photography — from 360 panoramas to gigapixel images, and from HDR techniques to 3D digital twins.

I am a Google Street View certified partner and an Expert Maestro level photographer in the 360Cities community, with over a million views. My clients have included McDonald's, Samsung, Red Bull, Neste, Telia, and Nightwish.

Over the years, I have founded several online services. 360channel.com is one of my newest project releases. 360panorama.fi and 360finland.fi were born out of a passion for capturing Finnish landscapes, and 360pohjois-karjala.com focuses on showcasing my home region.

360stories.fi serves as a showcase for my art projects, and this site — saarikorpi.com — is my personal homepage, where I share my story and my work.

Today, I explore the latest technologies, such as Gaussian Splatting and NeRF modeling. I share what I learn on my YouTube channel, Virtual Nerd.
